[QUOTE="bjork, post: 1703359, member: 85512"] waiting til the metal work is done is the way to go. i'm feeling hamstrung by the cylinder length of the schneider, 2.5". i should be able to keep the cylinder of the schneider beyond the shoulder, but it's a bit closer than i'd like. the third line from the left is the 1.5" mark. the last line on the right is where the contour begins on the factory barrel and is ~1.9". the other two lines are where i believe the shoulder begins and the case ends. not precise by any means- just getting a handle on what i'm dealing with. do you think the schneider is sufficient to spec a finished breech length of 1.4" or 1.5" after the receiver is faced? i will have the action trued. shortgrass mentioned, "I'd rather have that length a bit long than too short." how much is a bit long? i do have a pacnor #4 w/ ~3.3" cylinder which would solve my concerns over breech length, as i could simply replicate the factory cylinder dimensions, but the blank is ~8 oz heavier than the schneider. will the finished weight between these blanks be de minimis? i'm more concerned about balance than overall weight. fyi, schneider is 9 twist, pacnor is 8.5 twist. the 8.5 is more capable as you guys know, but for my purposes it's not strictly necessary- though it might be fun! i'm also comfortable with going slow and adjusting/opening up the inlet or full length bedding should it be called for.
